A great company on an upward trajectory
A great company on an upward trajectory
Great colleagues and a good environment to work in. A really good culture and the company values are strong. The renewed focus on Cloud is the right direction the company should be taking. The Surface range of products is also very good. Excellent senior leadership (at last!). Would like to see a decent dividend payout as a shareholder.
Still has the ability to make poor acquisitions, such as Nokia and LinkedIn. Some of the management one layer down are not particularly strong. The company is still a bit bloated and needs to slim down more, particularly in Marketing.
Keep doing what you are doing. Reduce the number of CVP's and try and match AWS in terms of speed and scale of investment.

Multiple phases, all virtual. They were really good and really required you to do your research! Had a briefing before the interview where I was given the names of those who would be interviewing me, so I could research them on LinkedIn, etc.

The interview process had multiple rounds. I had to conduct technical and behavioural analysis in the interviews. I also had an in-person presentation on a topic they sent to me in advance of the interview.
